PBP Commentary |
Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Billy Bishop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felton Schupt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bishop might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drunkula - Lift The Whip. Schupt has chosen The Ramones - I wanna be sedated as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
